Remarks
Send the given key event code (as defined by KeyEvent) to the current input connection is a key down + key up event pair. The sent events have KeyEvent#FLAG_SOFT_KEYBOARD KeyEvent.FLAG_SOFT_KEYBOARD set, so that the recipient can identify them as coming from a software input method, and KeyEvent#FLAG_KEEP_TOUCH_MODE KeyEvent.FLAG_KEEP_TOUCH_MODE, so that they don't impact the current touch mode of the UI.
Note that it's discouraged to send such key events in normal operation; this is mainly for use with android.text.InputType#TYPE_NULL type text fields, or for non-rich input methods. A reasonably capable software input method should use the android.view.inputmethod.InputConnection#commitText family of methods to send text to an application, rather than sending key events.
